I've distributed about 400 copies of my 2 CDR releases, and have yet
to be contacted by anyone to have one replaced, for whatever that's
worth. The general rule of thumb I use is that if you treat CDR's the
way you *should* treat CD's, keep them in the jewel case when not
playing, handle on the edges, etc, and avoid the bargain basement
brands (I use Taiyo Yuden for master copies, sony/maxell/TDK for
dupes), they should last as long as regular CD's.
